I'd argue the opposite. I wish car companies would push their EVs further into the futuristic aesthetic.
The Chevy Bolt is a wonderful vehicle, but it looks almost exactly like a legacy gasoline car. A regular person could easily mistake it for the current Chevy Spark. Similarly, the Chevy Volt looks almost exactly like a Chevy Malibu. And a Nissan Leaf looks fairly similar to a Nissan Note.
I'm aware that they don't want the car to look too "scary" or unusual, and it's a huge cost savings to re-purpose existing parts/designs. But just as a personal preference, I wish the more EV-focused concept-car-styled designs could actually make it to market.
